VitroVivo DAB Substrate

This enhanced DAB substrate kit gives a dark brown or black stain color. It is a enhanced sensitive colorimetric substrate used with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunoblotting applications. This DAB product has improved stability, ease of formulation, and greater sensitivity then routine DAB products. It is very good for weak signal IHC assay.

Recommended Assay Procedure for Immunohistochemistry
- Before DAB staining, add 25 μl of DAB stock solution with 1 ml of DAB enhancer buffer. The mixed DAB substrate solution can be stored for up to 6 hours. Storing the reagent for longer periods of time will cause precipitate formation.
- Apply the mixed DAB substrate reagent to the tissue section after it has been incubated with the appropriate horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugated reagents.
- Approximately 100-200 μl (2-4drops) of the mixed DAB substrate reagent should be sufficient to cover the entire tissue section.
- Incubate the section with the mixed DAB reagent for 2-10 minutes or until the desired color intensity is obtained.
- Wash the slides in dH2O
